Childhood Vaccination
The chances of your child getting a case of measles or chickenpox or whooping cough might be quite low today. But vaccinations are not just for protecting ourselves, and are not just for today. They also protect the people around us like some of whom may be unable to get certain vaccines, or might have failed to respond to a vaccine, or might be susceptible for other reasons. Vaccines also protect our children’s children and their children by keeping diseases that we have almost defeated from making a comeback. It is important to continue immunizing, even if cases of diseases are rare. If one or two cases of disease are introduced into a community where most people are not vaccinated, outbreaks will occur. In 2013, for example, several measles

Disease rates are low in the United States today. But if we let ourselves become vulnerable by not vaccinating, a case that could touch off an outbreak of some disease that is currently under control is just a plane ride away. Being vaccinated can reduce the risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to aid it to safely develop immunity to disease. Vaccines are designed to protect young children before they are likely to be exposed to potentially serious diseases. Young children are the ones most vulnerable to serious infections. Therefore, vaccinations should be enforced to increase human’s immune systems to fight against any disease. Most vaccine-preventable diseases are spread from person to person. If one person in a community gets an infectious disease, he can spread it to others who are not immune. But a person who is immune to a disease because she has been vaccinated can’t get that disease and can’t spread it to others. The more people who are vaccinated, the fewer opportunities a disease has to spread. Being vaccinated will allow children to remain safe, and will keep the community safe and healthy. Vaccines should be enforced because getting children vaccinated helps protect others in the community. Getting children to be vaccinated protects the community because people who have cancer are not able to receive certain vaccines, which can cause an outbreak in the community. Enforcing children to be vaccinated also helps the community stay safe, because image having a close neighbor who has a newborn baby, they are more susceptible because they are too young to be vaccinated. Enforcing vaccination drops the rate of contracting diseases amongst people. Vaccines are safe, and extremely effective. Therefore, vaccination should be enforced
